Guillermo Heredia was never the most talented player on the Braves, or the most dynamic on the field, but make no mistake, his contributions to the 2022 did not go unnoticed. Or unappreciated.
How Acquired
In the lead -up to the 2021 season, the New York Mets placed Heredia on waivers, hoping to pass him through to their minor league system. The Braves used that opportunity to claim Heredia and offered him an invite to Spring Training. While he wasn’t able to make the team out of Spring Training, he was valuable enough for the Braves to select him for their taxi squad for the 2021 season.
